Summary

New Philadelphia High School is a 9–12 comprehensive school serving 748 students in New Philadelphia, Ohio, part of the New Philadelphia City district. In 2025–2026, New Philadelphia High School ranked 411th of 795 Ohio high schools—the 48th percentile with 2 stars, down from the 63rd percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024. The most urgent concern is its 77.1% graduation rate, the lowest among nearby comprehensive high schools and far below the local median of 96.6%; the next lowest is Dover High School at 86.0%. Chronic absenteeism is 25.2%, above the local median of 20.5%, though it has improved from 37.7% in 2021–2022.

Academically, New Philadelphia is above the state average but mid-pack locally. Its End-of-Course average is about 67.0%, above Ohio’s average of about 63.2% but below the local median of 68.0%. English II is a strength at 75.3% versus 62.7% statewide, and Geometry also beats state and local medians. American Government, American History, and Biology trail the local median. The school outperforms Fairless High School, Sandy Valley High School, and Claymont High School but trails Garaway High School, Tuscarawas Valley Middle-High School, Conotton Valley High School, and Indian Valley High School.

Subgroup results are uneven. The school ranks well for low-income students (74th percentile, 4 stars) and homeless students (73rd percentile, 4 stars). However, special education students rank at the 15th percentile with 1 star for three straight years, English language learners at the 16th percentile, and Hispanic students at the 23rd percentile. Male students have slipped to the 41st percentile. Spending was $9,957 per student in 2018–2019 and the student-teacher ratio was 15.2 in 2024–2025—both mid-pack, so resources alone do not explain the gaps. The key takeaways are the low graduation rate and high absenteeism, alongside solid English II and Geometry results and notable strengths for low-income and homeless students.
